Last week my colleagues and I attended We Are Developers in Vienna, a developer conference with 8000 attendees. We presented and demonstrated the IBM Cloud and the IBM Code developer site. Below are some pictures. (more…)

Last week my colleagues and I attended JAX, which is a developer conference with 2000 attendees with a focus on Java and enterprise technologies. My colleagues and I presented and demonstrated the IBM Cloud and the IBM Code developer site. Below are some pictures. (more…)

As serverless platforms mature, more and more sophisticated cloud-native applications are built with serverless technologies. I've created a sample application which uses multiple functions which have been developed with JavaScript, TypeScript, Java and Kotlin. (more…)

Over the next weeks I'll repeat my session "When to use Serverless? When to use Kubernetes?" several times. As backup and for people who won't attend the sessions I've recorded the demos. (more…)

As serverless platforms mature, more and more sophisticated cloud-native applications are built with serverless technologies. These applications are assembled with potentially many functions that are loosely-coupled and can be developed by different teams. (more…)

Serverless platforms are often used to build APIs for web and mobile apps. I've open sourced a pattern that shows how to implement protected APIs with IBM Cloud Functions and how to invoke them from Angular web applications. (more…)

Earlier this month I attended JavaLand in Brühl, Germany. JavaLand took place for the fifth time and has grown to 1900 developers from 20 countries. (more…)

Last week IBM hosted the Think 2018 conference in Las Vegas which is IBM's flagship conference that combines previous conferences like InterConnect and World of Watson. Below is a list of announcements and news that I, as a developer, like most. (more…)

I've implemented some code that shows how Apache OpenWhisk functions can be developed with Kotlin. The Java code is built via Gradle and put into a Docker image which can be deployed to OpenWhisk cloud providers like the IBM Cloud. (more…)

I've open sourced some code that shows how Apache OpenWhisk functions can be developed with Spring Boot and how the functions, which run in Docker, can be debugged in Eclipse IDEs. (more…)
